Titanium shows magnetic moment of

$1.73BM$ ; then find out its oxidation state:

0%
$+1$
0%
$+4$
0%
$+3$
0%
$+2$

Explanation

$1.73 BM$

$= \sqrt {n\times(n+2)}$ .

Solving this we get n

$=$ 1.

So Titanium has a electron configuration of [Ar]

$4s^03d^1$ . So its oxidation state is +3.

Magnetic moments of

$Cr(Z=24)$ ,

${Mn} (Z=25)$ and

${Fe}(Z=26)$ , are

$x ,y , z$ .

They are in order:

0%
$x< y< z$
0%
$x=y< z$
0%
$x>y>z$ .
0%
$x=y=z$

Explanation

n = number of unpaired electrons. Greater the number of unpaired electrons, greater will be the magnetic moment.

$Cr$ = 6 unpaired electron

$Mn$ = 5 unpaired electron

$Fe$ = 4 unpaired electron

Therefore the order of magnetic moment is

$x>y>z$ .

Hence,option C is correct.

0%
$V{Cl}_{2}$
0%
$V{Cl}_{3}$
0%
$V{Cl}_{4}$
0%
$V{Cl}_{5}$

Explanation

$\sqrt {n(n+2)} = 1.73$ Solving this we get the number of unpaired electrons as 1.

$V^{4+}$ will result in 1 unpaired electron. Hence the solution is

$VCl_4$

Lanthanoids contraction is caused due to:

0%

$d^5$ has 5 unpaired electrons .

$d^6$ has 4 unpaired electrons

$d^7$ has 3 unpaired electrons

$d^8$ has 2 unpaired electrons.

Hence,option A is correct.

0%
$4.90$

Explanation

The electronic configuration of

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^8$

Number of unpaired electrons in

$Ni^{+2}$ is 2 formula used for the spin only magnetic moment

$\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}$

$\mu = \sqrt{2(2+2)}$

$\mu = \sqrt{8}$

$\mu = 2.84BM$

Hence, the correct option is

$\text{C}$

four $Cr-O$ bonds are equivalent.
0%
six $Cr-O$ bonds are equivalent.
0%
all $Cr-O$ bonds are equivalent.
0%
all $Cr-O$ bonds are non-equivalent.

Explanation

Hint: If the bonds are in resonance then they will have the same bond length so they are equivalent.

Correct Option: $B$

Explanation:

In the $Dichromate \ di-anion$ , $6 \ Cr-O$ bonds are equivalent.
The $Dichromate$ ion consists of two $tetrahedral$ chromate sharing a $Oxygen$ at the corner.
The $six$ terminal bonds have the same bond length due to resonance.
The bonds which are named $1$ to $6$ are in resonance and due to which these bonds are equal.

The maximum number of identical Cr-O bond lengths in Cr_2 O_7^(2-) would be

Which of the following is ferromagnetic.

0%
Cu, Ag, Au
0%
Fe, Co, Ni
0%
Zn, Cd, Hg
0%

Explanation

Explanation:

Ferromagnetic substances are those which get strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field.

These substances have domains that get aligned in the magnetic field, thus increasing their strength.

These are strongly attracted by a magnet.

Examples include $iron, cobalt, nickel, etc.$

Explanation

$Ni^{2+}$ has valence shell electronic configuration of

$3d^84s^0$ . It contains 2 unpaired electrons. Its magnetic moment is given by:

$\displaystyle \sqrt {n(n+2)} \left (\cfrac {eh}{4\pi m} \right )$

$= \sqrt {2(2+2)} \left (\cfrac {eh}{4\pi m} \right )$

$= \sqrt 8 \left (\cfrac {eh}{4\pi m} \right )$

The incorrect statement in respect of chromyl chloride test is?

0%
Formation of red vapour
0%
Formation of leas chromate
0%
Formation of carbonyl chloride
0%
Liberation of chlorine

Explanation

Hint: chromyl chloride test refers to a chemical test for the detection of chloride ions qualitatively.

Chromyl chloride test is a qualitative analysis test used for the conformation for

$\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions.

Let us understand the reaction involved

Step 1: Take a small amount of soluble chloride salt with an equal amount of powdered

$\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}$ .

Step 2: Heat the mixture with conc.

$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ .

$\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}+4 \mathrm{KCl}+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CrO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}+6 \mathrm{KHSO}_{4}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

Step 3: The orange red vapours of formed chromyl chloride

$\left(\mathrm{CrO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)$ is passed through the

$\mathrm{NaOH}$ solution taken in another test tube.

$\mathrm{CrO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}+4 \mathrm{NaOH} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CrO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{NaCl}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

Step 4: The solution turns yellow.

Step 5: Add acetic acid to the solution and then lead acetate solution.

$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CrO}_{4}+\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}\right)_{2} \mathrm{~Pb} \rightarrow \mathrm{PbCrO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}$

Step 6: Yellow PPT

$\left(P b C r O_{4}\right)$ is formed.

So, from the above information, we can see there is no liberation of chlorine.

Final Answer:

Hence D is correct.

0%
none of these

Explanation

Option (C) is correct.

The chromate ion (yellow colour) in acidic medium changes to dichromate ion

$Cr_2O_7^{2-}$ (orange - red colour). In alkaline medium, reverse happens.

In solution,the dichromate ions convert to chromate ions by the action of a base. Thus chromate ion and dichromate ion exists in equilibrium.

$Ni(DMG)_2$
0%
$[Co(SCN)_4]^{2-}$
0%
$[Fe(H_2O)_5SCN]^{2+}$

0%
$Pb$
0%
$K$

A heavy metal is any relatively dense metal. Density criteria range from above

$3.5g/cm^3$ to above

$7g/cm^3$ . Atomic numbers of heavy metals are generally greater than 20.

$Cu, Hg$ and

$Pb$ are heavy metals but

$K$ is not a heavy metal. So answer is D.

The decreasing order of solubility of silver halide is:

0%
$AgF > AgCl > AgBr > AgI$
0%
$AgCl > AgF > AgBr > AgI$
0%
$AgBr > AgF > AgI > AgCl$

Explanation

The decreasing order of solubility of silver halide is

$\displaystyle AgF > AgCl > AgBr > AgI$
On moving down the group of halogens, the ionic size increases and hydration energy decreases. Hence, the solubility decreases.

0%
none of the above

Explanation

$d-block$ elements as they have maximum vacant orbitals and thus shows variable oxidation state.

Which of the following ions is colourless in solution?

0%
${V}^{3+}$
0%
${Cr}^{3+}$
0%
${Co}^{2+}$
0%
${Sc}^{3+}$

Explanation

$V\left( 23 \right) =\left[ Ar \right] 3{ d }^{ 3 },4{ s }^{ 2 }$

${ V }^{ 3+ }=\left[ Ar \right] 3{ d }^{ 2 },4{ s }^{ 0 }$ (two unpaired electrons)

$Cr\left( 24 \right) =\left[ Ar \right] 3{ d }^{ 5 },4{ s }^{ 1 }$

${ Cr }^{ 3+ }=\left[ Ar \right] 3{ d }^{ 3 },4{ s }^{ 0 }$ (three unpaired electrons)

$Co\left( 27 \right) =\left[ Ar \right] 3{ d }^{ 7 },4{ s }^{ 2 }$

${ Co }^{ 2+ }=\left[ Ar \right] 3{ d }^{ 7 },4{ s }^{ 0 }$ (three unpaired electrons)

$Sc\left( 21 \right) =\left[ Ar \right] 3{ d }^{ 7 },4{ s }^{ 2 }$

${ Sc }^{ 3+ }=\left[ Ar \right] 3{ d }^{ 0 },4{ s }^{ 0 }$ (no unpaired electrons)
Thus, in

${ Sc }^{ 3+ }$ no unpaired d-electron is present.
Hence, no d-d transition is possible and it is colourless ion.

The pair that referred as 'chemical twins' is:

0%
Ac, Cf
0%
Hf, Ta
0%
Tc, Re
0%
La, Ac

Explanation

Due to the presence of

$f$ -electrons, the nuclear is not screened effectively. Thus, the atom radius of elements of second transition series (i.e., Nb, Mo, Tc, etc) is similar to that of corresponding third transition series elements (i.e., Ta, W, Re).

Hence, Nb-Ta; Mo-W or Tc-Re are called chemical twins.

0%
$Lu(OH)_3$
0%
$Eu(OH)_3$
0%
$Yb(OH)_3$
0%
$Ce(OH)_3$

Explanation

Due to lanthanide contraction, the size of

$M^{3+}$ ions

$[i.e, Lu^{3+}, Eu^{3+}, Yb^{3+}$ and

$Ce^{3+}]$ decreases and thus, the basic strength of their hydroxides decreases. The order of size of given

$M^{3+}$ ions is

$Ce^{3+}> Eu^{3+}> Yb^{3+} > Lu^{3+}$

$\therefore$ The order of basic strength of hydroxides is

$Ce(OH)_3 > Eu(OH)_3 > Yb(OH)_3 > Lu(OH)_3$ (most basic).

0%
$Uranium (Z = 92)$
0%

Explanation

Explanation:
The actinides can be identified based on the outermost orbitals. The valence electrons of the actinides enter into the 5f-orbital.

Electronic configuration of curium:- [Rn]

${5f}^{7} {6d}^{1}$

The energy of 6d orbitals is less than the 5f orbital, so the electrons first enter into 6d orbitals, and then the remaining valence electrons enter into 5f orbital. Thus, Curium is an actinoid.

Electronic configuration of californium:- [Rn]

${5f}^{10} {7s}^{2}$

The energy of 7s orbitals is less than the 5f orbital, so the electrons first enter into 7s orbitals, and then the remaining valence electrons enter into 5f orbital. Thus, Californium is an actinoid.

Electronic configuration of uranium:- [Rn]

${5f}^{3}$

The valence electrons of the uranium element enter into 5f-orbital so the uranium is an actinoid.

Electronic configuration of terbium:- [Xe]

${4f}^{9} {6s}^{2}$

The energy of 6s orbitals is less than the 4f orbital, so the electrons first enter into 6s orbitals, and then the remaining valence electrons enter into 4f orbital. Thus, Terbium is lanthanoid and not actinide.

Spin Magnetic moment is $\sqrt{n(n+2)}$

where n is the number of unpaired electrons in $Co^{+2}$ and $Cr^{+3}$ the number of unpaired electrons is $2$ . So they have same spin magnetic moment
